SCOTUS just saved all semi auto rifles by saving Bump Stocks. Now I have no love of bump stocks and will never own one. The reason why this ruling is so important is because I've seen several methods on youtube that will duplicate a bump stock but isn't a bump stock. I saw one video where a guy used the belt loop on his pants and made it work like a bump stock. I also saw a picture of a mini 14 configured in such a way with a large rubber band, as I recall, that made it also fire like a bumstock. Because you can make any semi auto rifle fire like a bump stock with readily available parts, that would mean that all semi's are capable of being fully automatic.

Well, yeah. If all you want to do is a mag dump. If that shit gives you a thrill, I'm happy for you.
But, as machine guns, in general are for a different application, mount a scope on one and you turn in into a single shot.
I wish nobody had invented bump stocks. The only benefit is when some mental creep wants to kill 59 concert goers in Las Vegas. The hits/kills are random and lucky. It takes a monster of some kind to kill strangers from your suite and then blow your brains out rather than face the consequences of your actions like a coward. I'll never understand what the hell motivates that kind of sickness? The hate just must be overpowering?
It would be marvelous if we could identify or screen this type before they slaughter innocents and maybe treat them with shocks, like an electric chair and accidentally max the voltage. Oops, sorry, Bro!

PS we never needed bump stocks! I wish the asshole that invented them had done something else more productive!

I am with you on this. I wish bump stocks were never invented too.

I was walking around at a gun show, 20-25 years ago, and there was some guy at a booth selling an attachment for an AR with a hand crank, that activated the trigger when it was attached. A little more awkward than a bump stock but the same results which I thought were unneeded but we have people that love gadgets, useful or not. When you think about it, there are a number of things that are unneeded, but progress, you know. Everybody thinks they are moments away from a million dollar payday.
I worked with a guy that had just received a patent for "tyless" shoe laces. You know that phase where you have to teach a kid to tie a bow knot on his show laces? This device attached to the end of stretchable shoelaces and you stick one end of a cylindrical tube and twist and it snaps into place....thereby delaying the learning by a few months of tying shoelaces. What progress! But, believe it or not, I have seen it offered, like for a retarded stroke person, etc. My associate is probably living on the Riviera and bathing in champagne. Sure!
On the other hand, we obviously have a certain type that really really needs a bump stock. I give up!

Haven't seen it in a while but about 50 years ago, Cabela's offered a kit where-by one could turn a pair or Ruger 10-22s into a crank fired ack-ack gun mounted on a tri-pod.
For making tin cans dance, the cool factor was pretty high but not good for too much else.
A bump stock for a Mini-14 ?????
Soooooo ........... Somebody figured out a way to make a Mini-14 LESS ACCURATE ?????
I was telling myself just the other day, "Shooting patterns is to good; I want to shoot sprays !!!"

Do you intend to blame your public education for that weakness that made you come home with the Mini14?
I'll tell you, or maybe confess and admit that I thought the Mini14 was a very cool idea....until I shot one! That clackity clack of the action is so distracting immediately after the first shot that a second accurate shot is virtually impossible!
To my mind, it's not at all like an M! even though it appears to be damned near a carbon copy of the design and with a slightly smaller scale, if you get my meaning? To me it looks like the same, but I've fired both and the action of an M! is a lot slicker and faster. Maybe it's the piston or the size of the gas hole but to me, the Mini 14 actuates in slow motion, whereas the M1 is fast enough that you can't really follow it as it opens and ejects and loads another round. Just my impression, but I was disappointed in the Mini14 because it seems like a slick idea.
The AR15, mechanically is so superior mechanically it's sickening. And the Mini14 was much later introduced. They shouldn't have bothered. I mean I was all set to be a fan until I shot one and at this point, it would have to be a gift before I'd ever own one.
